Options and Restricted Stock Notwithstanding the terms of any plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company:
Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units The Executive acknowledges that as of the Resignation Date, the Executive was vested in Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) as reflected in the report attached as Exhibit A hereto. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Executive’s rights with respect to Stock Options and RSUs issued to him/her are governed by the Stock Option and Restricted Stock Unit Agreements entered into between the Executive and the Company, and the applicable Company equity incentive plan(s) and Notice(s) of Grant.
Stock Options and Restricted Stock In the event that (a) USPI elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5, (b) there is a “Change of Control Event” (as defined below) or (c) USPI terminates Employee without the notice required under Section 5 or without Cause under Section 7, then in each such event, all USPI stock options held by Employee and all restricted stock awards made to him/her by USPI (including issued subject to forfeiture) shall thereupon automatically be amended so as to (i) cause to vest, immediately prior to the date of such Change in Control Event or such termination of employment, all then unvested stock options and restricted stock awards, and (ii) provide Employee 90 days to exercise such options (or such greater period as may be provided by the terms of such options). For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Change of Control Event” shall mean (A) a consolidation or merger of USPI with or into any other corporation (other than a merger which will result in the voting capital stock of USPI outstanding immediately before the effective date of such consolidation or merger being converted into more than 50% of the voting capital stock of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such consolidation or merger), (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety in a single transaction or in a series or related transactions to any other “person” or (C) the acquisition of “beneficial ownership” by any “person” or “group” of voting stock of the Company representing more than 50% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of such voting stock, whether by way of merger of consolidation or otherwise. As used herein, (x) the terms “person” and “group” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not applicable, (y) the term “beneficial owner” shall have the meaning set forth in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable, except that a person shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all shares that any such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or upon the occurrence of certain events, and (z) any “person” or “group” will be deemed to beneficially own any voting stock so long as such person or group beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate a majority of the voting stock of a registered holder of such voting stock.
Dividend Restrictions No subsidiary of the Company is prohibited or restricted, directly or indirectly, from paying dividends to the Company, or from making any other distribution with respect to such subsidiary’s equity securities or from repaying to the Company or any other subsidiary of the Company any amounts that may from time to time become due under any loans or advances to such subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any property or assets to the Company or to any other subsidiary.
Payment of Restricted Stock Units Payment of Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to this Section shall be made in Shares (or, if applicable, settlement in the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Change in Control), as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date. The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be exempt from application of Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities set forth herein shall be interpreted accordingly. However, to the extent that an exemption is not available and the Restricted Stock Units are “deferred compensation” subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the following provisions shall apply and shall supersede anything to the contrary set forth herein and in the Plan to the extent required for the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In a Change in Control or Corporate Transaction the Award must be assumed, continued or substituted by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation and any Shares scheduled to be issued upon an applicable scheduled Vest Date may not be earlier issued unless the Change in Control or Corporate Transaction is also a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as described in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(iv) and an exemption is available and elected under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B) or such earlier issuance of the Shares is otherwise permitted by Section 409A of the Code. The Company retains the right to provide for earlier issuance of Shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code.
Company Restricted Stock Units At the Effective Time of the First Merger, each Company Restricted Stock Unit then outstanding shall be assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed RSU”). Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan and any applicable award or other agreement, each Assumed RSU shall be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (or an amount in respect thereof for cash settled Company Restricted Stock Unit) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Restricted Stock Unit multiplied by the Stock Award Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock). Each Company Restricted Stock Unit shall have the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger other than with respect to those Company Restricted Stock Units listed (i) in Section 5.9(c)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule that were subject to performance based vesting conditions prior to the date of this Agreement and that shall be deemed issued and vested in their entirety at the Effective Time of the First Merger and released from any forfeiture rights pertaining to such shares in favor of Company, Parent or Surviving Entity, and (ii) in Section 5.9(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which shall be deemed issued in their entirety at the Effective Time of the First Merger, which shall be converted into the right to receive Parent Common Stock according to the same formula applied to the Assumed RSUs above, and which shall be subject to quarterly vesting over a two-year period following the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of the 2006 Plan. Except as set forth in this Section 5.9(c). Company shall not take or permit any action that would accelerate vesting of any Company Restricted Stock Unit, except to the extent required by the terms of any such Company Restricted Stock Unit as in effect on the date hereof. Copies of the relevant agreements governing such Company Restricted Stock Unit and the vesting thereof have been provided to Parent. Except as set forth in this Section 5.9(c), all outstanding rights that Company may hold immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger to the forfeiture of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Restricted Stock Unit shall be assigned to Parent in the First Merger and shall thereafter be held by Parent upon the same terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger, except that the shares forfeitable pursuant to such rights shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the Stock Award Exchange Ratio.
Restricted Share Units Restricted Share Units means Restricted Share Units granted to Participant under the Plan subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of issuance.
Restricted Stock Units Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) as of the Grant Date. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share of Common Stock if the Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and such Shares are delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. The Grantee is required to pay no cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Restricted Stock Units and related rights are nontransferable as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) sales of Shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Employees and Consultants, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Shares are not permitted, (iv) Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy of the Company, regardless of whether such recoupment or “clawback” policy is applied with prospective or retroactive effect, and (v) any entitlement to dividend equivalents will be in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.
Restricted Stock Agreement Each Award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.
Grant of Restricted Stock Units The Corporation hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date, restricted stock units under the Plan. The number of shares of Common Stock underlying the awarded restricted stock units and the applicable service vesting requirements for those units and the underlying Shares are set forth in the Award Notice. The remaining terms and conditions governing the Award shall be as set forth in this Agreement.
